My Year 10 students have returned from Work Experience. As they have completed their programme of study I am looking for topics for them to discuss. War is an obvious one, and bullying is always a popular choice.
I noticed that the new edition of FMJ was a "15", whereas the old one was an "18". Well, these folks are 15, so I decided to show it to them. Though only up to the end of Private Pyle, of course.
They are loving it. I, of course am - well, he dies, so loving it is not quite the right word - but enjoying the chance to watch his talents twice over (once for each class).
Yes, there is a lot of swearing, not to mention the violence, but the Head was quite happy for them to see another 15 full of violence and swearing on an important topic (capital punishment) so I guess he won't mind.
Well, I HOPE he won't mind.


I've never capped the film, so I must thank Eliza for the pictures.
